Comparative Study of Indentation Size Effects in As-Sintered Alumina and Alumina Shock Deformed at 6.5 and 12 GPa
Figure 7
At an illustrative load of 100 mN, the typical signatures of serrations in loading cycles of load () versus depth () plots of (a) ARA, (b) 6.5 GPa SA, and (c) 12 GPa SA samples (insets in these pictures show typically illustrate how the first critical loads () and the critical depths () at which the displacement bursts had occurred.
